I bought an ARF LV, very happy with it but I’m waiting for ARF’s next evolution to get the LN.
ARF LN vs Gen Hulk
I know it’s not apples to apples, but I gotta say it’s pretty dead on. ARF is a helluva rep. Feel is about 90-95% gen, bracelet feels a minute amount less “tight”, the cyclops has the blue-halo AR, rehaut needs a tiny bit more polish, and the DW font is slightly off. The “Swiss mode” at 6:00 is also different in Gen, but not sure if there’s variation there.
To address your question from above, just received new gen - AR is clear and no blue tint. Must be batch variation.

Biggest issue for me is the blue tinted dial especially the white writings (Rolex, Submariner and the other stuff) in your comparison its dead on you can clearly see the whole text is way to blueish compared to gen. BP fixxed that years ago thats why the BP dials are so good.
Edit: And the SELs are a little bit to high compared to gen but way better than the Noob V7 SELs

It seems like there are a lot of us in the same boat. I think it will be splitting hairs. Frankly I think this model is good enough for me as it is. The direction of winding/setting is of no consequence and I at most would be going to swap out the crystal. My biggest hold up has been the insert markers not being centered (well covered in this thread).
I actually ended up posting a wanted ad earlier to see if I end up being nudged to just take the plunge now. These ARF's look incredible.
I'll kick myself if the smoke version drops and is perfect, but I can always pick one up and unload the current model if I really have the itch.

ARF looks outstanding. Having had various gens and seeing the amazing build quality of these reps , I find it difficult justifying dropping coin for another gen.
